Spatial Perception for Safe Crane Operation
Crane systems move heavy loads in dynamic, often complex environments. Small mistakes can lead to major damage.
Lidar achieves what traditional sensors cannot:
- Spatial Vision: The crane “understands” what is happening around the load — with true depth perception in all directions.
- Independent of Light & Contrast: Unlike cameras, Lidar also works reliably at dusk or against backlight.
- Recognition of complex scenes: People, trailers, container edges, or ship components are precisely detected — not just as simple obstacles, but as relevant objects.
Modern crane systems are not just about movement — they’re about safety, precision, and automation. Lidar is the key to achieving that.

Usage
Every centimeter counts in container handling: Our Lidar-based proximity system enables controlled, gentle load placement (“Soft Landing”) and protects against collisions with trailers, semi-trailers, or adjacent structures.
Functionalities
- The load is guided to the contact surface with continuous Lidar tracking — ensuring gentle placement that protects materials.
- The system detects objects in the immediate vicinity of the suspended load and triggers automatic warnings or stop actions in case of potential danger.
- 3D detection of critical structures in close proximity — even under challenging visibility conditions such as dusk or rain.
Advantage
Our Lidar-based proximity sensing enhances precision in the final movement phase — reducing impact damage, extending equipment lifespan, and increasing efficiency in intermodal terminal operations.
